Dies to Removal

rcwraspy

Do you think Bonfires may be a sideboard option against the 30+ creature decks? And can you run through your sideboarding strategies in general?

Great looking deck!

EDIT: Also, why Act of Treason over Traitorous Blood? Double red mana cost?

Happy birthday Windstrider!!

rofl Helios - you want Goblin Test Pilot as a mythic :-p The fewer of that card in existence, the better. Saves me the lighter fluid it's going to take to burn 'em all. Let me know if you need more lighter fluid. I'll send you some in the pay it forward program. Actually, can I even legally ship li...

Just checked out the art for Voice of Resurgence. Probably one of the most beautiful cards I have seen.

Was thinking the same thing.

I love you guys

I don't see the guy as being that inefficient. Sure 3 mana for a 2/2 sucks, but the guy's also pretty resilient and that effect is nothing to scoff at - I think it's good enough. Also, there's 8 sources of Trample in the list - so there is some evasion. Do you think he puts you more into a midrange...

I just really don't like Domri. I still think he's bad enough as is. As a four-of? Terrible. I understand that, definitely. But I do think it fits well in this deck. Particularly considering he MB'ed 4x Bonfire, Domri will give you that information so you can make your turn decisions knowing you'll...

Similar reason why some lists run 4-of Thalia. If it's a card your deck almost needs to see, you make the sacrifice.

These newly spoiled cards make me want to brew a really bad post-rotation Jund list.

Watch out for her calls wanting to make up. This sounds very familiar, and in my situation it resulted in about a year of being broken up during the week and together not seeing the light of day during the weekend. She could hide her crazy for about a 48 hour period then it all came spilling out.

Brimstone Volley could fit in the 3cmc slot. Creature dies, morbid is online, and creature undies. Seems solid.

rcwraspy

I feel like Young Wolf is just super bad, especially without Rancor. The point is to beat down, and he is a defensive card. Yes, he's resilient, but he doesn't seem like a resilient threat . Why not drop Deadbridge down to a one or two of, and add Rancor? Then he at least has some redeeming value. ...

Trample doesn't do anything for MoC - it has to be unblocked.

bah. Reading Comprehension fail.

Master of Cruelty in Jund using Ghor-Clan Rampager and/or other trample effects?

I like that Ral Zarek allows you to attack into an opponent with a Boros Reckoner out and not get 2for1'ed.

Re: Mono Black Vampires. It is a VERY good list. I played it in the Standard Premier on Saturday and I won the match by the skin of my teeth. It does some pretty nasty things. I tested All-In Red last night and did not like it one bit. I played six matches and won one. It could have been bad luck b...

Long time no see Flames, I'm just jumping aboard the new site. Anyone else go to the TCG 5k in Providence this past weekend? I brought this White-Weenie deck with a splash of red that Craig Wescoe came up with and did pretty decent going 7-2 for 21st place of 300, got $50 and a playmat so not too b...

I'm fully on the Stonewright train in RDW mono-red. Especially lists with 20+ land.

I'm on the fence leaning away from Stonewright in Gruul sligh. Argument being that a bloodrushed Ghor-Clan Rampager offers 4/4 and trample for RG while Stonewright would cost RRRR for 4/0 and no trample.

rcwraspy

good afternoon. Lazy day at work today. A buddy and I are headed to Providence tomorrow for a TCGplayer event. Why not. We're basically tweaking decks during work. Gotta love it. Then my wife is dragging me to Boston Ballet's rendition of Sleeping Beauty on Sunday. Ughh... redthirst's weekend seems ...

Guess who gets to try twenty different kinds of cake today for their wedding in a few weeks? I'm going to get so carb-loaded. Congratulations Kaze! I didn't know the nuptials were so close otherwise I would have organized an FoS bachelor party. The world would never be the same if that ever happene...

I felt you all should know that I'm moving heaven and earth to get Lightning Maulers for tomorrow. In case you hear any rumbling.

I didn't realize they were hard to come by?

rcwraspy

Work sucks anyway.

Ain't nobody got time for that.

Truer words have never been spoken.

Other than redthirst is the epitome of all that is male, of course.

Oh how I love reading this thread every morning :) Hello, fellow flamers (too gay?) I got some sad news today. Our dojo will be shutting down for financial reasons. It's a 25 minute drive for me and there's a sister dojo that's about a 10 minute walk away from me so I'll probably transfer, but I'll ...

Can't believe I missed this gem:

"The real problem with vexing devil is not that it is bad so much as it's not good..."

Brilliant.

Pure gold right there.

I can't see any of the competitive subforums on MTGS. What happened? My subscription to R/x sligh, Gruul sligh, etc are all gone. April Fools or something? I was about to say the same thing. Is this an FoS punishment or something? Pfft, not that it matters. When I need R/x (or really any) advice, I...

so folks don't think LillyotVeil will drop much after rotation, but what about Snappy? Since RtR was fully spoiled I wanted to build a U/R or U/B tempo deck, but obviously Snaps is pivotal there. Should I invest? I don't care much about it being $80 or so, I just don't want to lose $20+ when I can ...

You guys are awesome. Not a single ounce of ridicule. Who says the internet isn't better than real life? I appreciate you all giving me some words on the subject. I missed church today, I woke up with a wicked fever and couldn't move out of bed until the better part of the morning was over. I broke...

Mark of Mutiny is worse than Traitorous Blood; I know Metamorph likes Traitorous Instinct, so that might be worth considering. Mark of Mutiny showed up in a featured match in today's SCG Open. I was wondering if somehow there was something I'd missed about the card since I was surprised to see it p...

wow, Lilly is skyrocketing. Do you think she'll hold after standard rotation? I'm glad I picked up a copy for a foil Breeding Pool and $5. Foils are meaningless to me so in my head I got a Lilly for $15, not $35. Still need another 3 for a playset or 2 for comfort though. Cowboy Bebop is the bomb. G...

Heading home from work now. Tonight I finish my law school/MBE (joint degree) application and hopefully submit it. Deadline is Monday, so coming down to the wire.

Have fun in our new home. May your flames (for redthirst) burn brightly and never be extinguished.

The raging hard-on is only one sign. There's also cold sweats, feeling dizzy or faint, trouble speaking or thinking clearly, and the urge to fall to your knees in worship.

Just go with what feels natural.

Wait, were you in Boston recently?

hey all - glad to see the new digs! Awesome that we can post whatever we want.
